Two years ago, when we said goodbye to each other in South Africa, we couldn't have imagined what would soon be happening at global level. Organizing in this historic moment an event of such importance and with such international scope is certainly not an easy task, so I am warmly thanking the organizers and the local authorities for their availability and sensitivity in accepting this commitment. I would also like to thank warmly all the athletes and national teams who participated in the event and who, once again, testify to the importance of sport as a social factor.

Long Casting is a spectacular discipline that is generating more and more curiosity and attention. Placed in a geographical framework like , I am sure it will conduct to the realization of an important event. Already in 2015, we had the pleasure to welcome you in this wonderful land, on the competition venue of Coltano, and we had the opportunity to let you discover the organizational and touristic potential of this area. I am therefore sure that the event will leave in each of you positive memories of .

At this period of particular suffering of the world's population, I wish to the athletes, coaches, authorities, volunteers and supporters of this sport, to live a week of carefreeness, physical and moral wellness.

ESSENTIAL ANTI-DOPING ADVICE

Athletes are reminded if they take any medication they must check it against the WADA Prohibited Substance & Methods list.

Particular attention must be paid to the use of anti- hypertensive agents, especially diuretics, which are popular in singular preparation and/or in a combination with other normally permitted drugs.

Diuretics are always forbidden.

For these reasons, it is necessary for every athlete or National Federation to check the list for prohibited substances and process a TUE as necessary. The Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) must be granted before taking a prohibited medication.

An application for a TUE must be requested 30 days before taking part in the championships. The application forms must be filled in carefully with your physician/doctor who must authorise the application. A physician’s certificate or prescription on its own does not mean that the athlete has permission to use the prohibited substance or method.

The application should be completed either in English or French and sent directly to the office of the CIPS President.

Every athlete has a right to clean sport
